RE: Dog Boarding Services
Dear Ms. Warwick:
TOWN BOARD
William H. Beale
Vincent Bettina
Ismay Czarniecki
Joseph P. Paoloni
TOWN CLERK
Chris Masterson
HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Graham Foster
Thank you for your proposal, dated February 3rd, regarding the boarding of dogs collected by
our Dog Control Officer.
While I cannot formally execute a contract with you, as such requires Town Board approval, I
am accepting your proposal for services through and including Tuesday, February 15, 2011.
This allows for public consideration and a vote by the Wappinger Town Board on Monday,
February 14tH
Please know that while you are the only firm to respond as of this writing, it is the obligation of
the Town to consider any other proposals received through February 14th, hence I may not
promise you continuing services.
Effective immediately, I am agreeing to a temporary boarding arrangement with the Airport
Veterinary Clinic through and including February 15, 2011 under the following fee schedule:
1. Boarding rates of $22 per night;
2. Feeding rates of $3 per day; and
3. Veterinary services to include any required vaccinations extra.
It is our hope that every dog collected by the Dog Warden will be recovered immediately and
the owner will directly pay the Airport Veterinary Clinic for services rendered. Unfortunately,
disputes do occur and it is not the intention of the Town of Wappinger to impose hardships on
your firm. With such noted, the Town of Wappinger shall serve to resolve any issues of non-
payment through payment to the Airport Veterinary Clinic and collection efforts with the dog
owner.
Please note that payments to any entity, be they contractual or otherwise, require the payee
to sign a voucher attesting to services rendered and provide a copy of the receipt attached
thereto. Requests for payment are reviewed by the Town Board on the second and fourth
Monday of each month, with payment issued within two or three days after approval.
Again, it is our expectation that the predominant majority of owners will pay without issue, but
it is the interests of your firm and the Town to lay out the terms for payment in the exceptional
cases. Should this agreement proceed past February 15th, I will have a more formal
agreement drawn to protect both interests.
In the interim, should you wish to discuss specific protocol and policies, our Dog Control
Officer's direct cell phone is (845) 656-5029. 1 have copied him on this letter via e-mail to
ensure its expeditious delivery.
Christopher Colsey, Supervisor
Town of Wappinger

To Whom It May Concern:
In addition to my previous letter stating our prici n, S and procedures for boarding, I am writing
,with a proposal from Tar. Tay Weiss. Instead of being paid by the owner, we request payment
from the Town of. Wappingers and then the owner would pay the Town of Wappingers directly. T
spoke to Mr. Colsey about this and he said to submit this request as he can .m. ither approve nor
disapprove the request. We appreciate your. consideration.

To Whom It May Concern:
We do offer boarding services in our facility and would be more than happy to assist you. We
keep the dogs inside and out of the weather elements in a kennel. that stands floor to ceiling and
is 3'x S' and a bigger one that is 4'x G'. We feed thein twice a day, typically the owner of the pet
is responsible for providing food, otherwise we can provide food at an additional charge of
$3/day. They are walked outdoors 2-3 times a day andkennels are cleaned and disinfected daily.
The rate for boarding a dog is $22/night and we do require that they are current on rabies
vaccine, bordatella vaccine, and. distemper vaccine. We can provide the service of vaccinating
should the need arise. Check-in and check. -out tunes are during regular office hours. There is an
additional. surcharTkf it is ager -hours.
